Bioethics is the discipline that addresses ethical issues that arise in the healthcare setting, including those related to life and death, cure and comfort, truth telling and trust reflected in patient care and decision making. These are moral issues central to decision making and the provision of patient care. The concerns of bioethics are the well-being and dignity of the patient; the rights, responsibilities and choices of the patient, family and care team; and matters of justice and access to care.
Health Care Ethics: Overview of the Basics. Health care ethics (a/k/a medical ethics or bioethics), at its simplest, is a set of moral principles, beliefs and values that guide us in making choices about medical care. At the core of health care ethics is our sense of right and wrong and our beliefs about rights we possess and duties we owe others. Thinking carefully about the ethical aspects of health care decisions helps us make choices that are right, good, fair and just.
